i woke up this morning and noticed very very very tiny little white thing moving fast on my tank glass, ok not so bad if i knew what it was and can treat it right away. but i did water changes yesterday on all my tanks with the same python so now im worried about all my tanks!!!

anyway none of these white things are on any of the fish yet but i cant seem to fnd out what it is, do you think its ich just befor its on the fish? or what anyway please help as im really worried
 
Maybe a worm or lice prob not ick though
 
my money is on planaria, which is harmless. for each worms size they cant half move along the glass. google it and see what you think, if it looks similar and you think it is then you need to do more thorough gravel vacs and water changes (20-50%) at least once a week and cut down on the amount of food you give at each sitting.

agreed that what I was going to say
 
ya i did a ton of research on planaria and i dont think thats it. they arnt like worms, more like sparatic jumping microscopic bugs. the only reason i can see them is because of the black gravel i have at the bottom. their abou the size of a peice of dust.

i do 50% w/c with gravel vac twice a week and i just tested the params their:
amm: 0
nitrite: 0
nitrate: 20

i tried to take some pics but they dont show up
any morethoughs?
 
Planaria or detritus worms are harmless and merely serve as indicator in your maintenance routine. Perhaps copepods?
